The Sight (2000 TV Movie)
5/10
Trite and true

I put my hand up to not finishing this film. It's a topic that I like but what has put me off continuing to watch is a poor script. The first jarring note was the dialogue between the Chinese neighour and the hero. She says "Jack the ripper has returned to London". I sorry but this rang so trite. The script so far has very little original content. Also at one point a police officer says "I want more evidence." When, in fact, at this stage they have no evidence only theories. It just lazy writing. Why have an American hero? To increase the American market size? Although he does make the useful comment that London was bombed in the WWII.

The cinematography is OK, some nice moody framing.

I do like the hero's long coat; very Sherlock Holmes. Lol.
